If you're looking for an Italian answer to the four-door "coupe" trend, arguably started by the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, look no further than the 2017 Maserati Ghibli. This handsome four-door built in Turin straddles the line between swoopy four-door coupes and traditional midsize luxury sedans. Unmistakably a Maserati, the Ghibli's style and proportions split the difference between the automaker's flagship Quattroporte sedan and Gran Turismo two-door.

On sheer Italian flair alone, the Ghibli hits the right notes. But it's not just a sharp suit; it's also a sublime handler in the corners and curves. A twin-turbo V6 built by its Ferrari corporate cousin further sweetens the deal.

That's the good news, and for many it will be enough. Less impressive is the 2017 Ghibli's interior fit and finish. Borrowing buttons, knobs and switches from its corporate Fiat Chrysler parent, the Ghibli's cabin feels more Dodge and Detroit than Testarossa or Turin. It's still fairly snazzy on its own, but not when you consider other models that the Ghibli competes with.

The Ghibli starts with a base model, offering a turbocharged V6 making 350 horsepower, joined to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base model is pretty nicely equipped with desirable features such as 19-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a navigation system, a rearview camera, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

All Ghibli models can add the Luxury package, which bundles, among other items, ventilated front seats, a hands-free power trunk, a premium 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and driver assistance features such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and a surround-view camera.

A Sport package for S and S Q4 trim levels adds a choice of various wheels and a performance suspension, and a Driver Assistance package adds various collision avoidance technologies once absent from the Ghibli.

But Maseratis rarely, if ever, offer exceptional value, Ghibli included. The base price is similar to some of its "four-door coupe" rivals, but the Maser comes with fewer standard features (although the 2017 Ghibli has closed this gap admirably). We also don't trust its longevity quite as much as the other European competitors.

The Ghibli can tug at your heartstrings with its infectious spirit but might leave you unsatisfied after the novelty wears off. When you're ready to test-drive a new Ghibli, let Edmunds guide you to the one that best suits your style.

Review The front seats are so painfully uncomfortable they could be used to coerce confessions. The upper part of the seats, behind the shoulders, is too narrow and sticks out way too far, so you can't really sit back into the seat without feeling like you have two fists in your shoulder blades. I can basically drive the car for five minutes without being in pain. And there's really no fix to this, especially because the corporate office is totally nonresponsive, and the dealer is just happy to have one less of these things to have to move. I guess I should've leaned back more into the seat during the short test drive. And that's just the front seat. Back seat passengers have difficulty getting in and out, and then complain that the seats are too wedge-like, like their butt is being pinched together. Anyway, I've been trying to sell this car from the moment I leased it. I know I'll take a hit, but it's better than being in pain for the next three years (and maybe I'll just sue the company). Next time I'll just spend a little extra money and get a proper Mercedes or Jaguar or something like that.
